Cannabis farm dismantled by police in rented apartment.
Questioner
A cannabis farm was found in an apartment I rented. The police dismantled the farm. The tenant was arrested, questioned and released. Now the apartment is a big mess….. Now my question is, can I change the locks without consulting the tenant? There are still some valuables in the house. I terminated the contract by registered letter.Lawyer
In order to proceed with eviction and the installation of new locks, judicial intervention is required (district court summary proceedings). Only if the mayor orders that the house be temporarily closed can you dissolve extrajudicially, but even then a request to the court is required for eviction.Take the next step
